Very pretty burnished gold microglitter polish - just a tiny bit darker than Glitzerland, but not much (maybe a step or two?) I prefer Swing Baby to Glitzerland, not just because it costs less money and China Glaze hasn't taken to suing bloggers who publish promo pics, but because China...
Liz is another like Andi - a dark red creme that could *almost* give full, even coverage with a single coat. That said, two coats did deepen the color a bit and make it a bit more dark brown-red than dark red. I got full coverage with two coats, no...
This is a not-quite-nude shade on me. It's almost a my-lips-but-lighter, with almost no shimmer. I guess the term I've seen used for this finish - with some light reflecting qualities, but not a full-on shimmer/metallic effect - is “satin”. If you're looking for a good pink lip that...
I got several pinks from Sassy Minerals because I was looking for a dupe of Aromaleigh v1's Infernal Chaos, which sold out really really fast. I haven't found a dupe yet (and with Aromaleigh reopening, maybe it will make a comeback?) but Gaining Ground is a nice shade. It's...
This looks darker blue in the pot than it does on my lids - the blue is still there, it's just a little softer than expected. (Which is kind of a good thing, otherwise this would be Mimi Bobek blue!) The pigmentation level is a little bit heavier than in...
Quasi-metallic, but not quite, this is a nice enough grey. It reminds me a little bit of Concrete Minerals' Lithium, or Aromaleigh v1's Skeleton Key. This doesn't stay well unless I use a primer, though at the price, it's a decent enough loose powder shadow. It does have pigmentation,...
I had faint hopes that this would be a lip-stain type of product. Sadly, this does not appear to be the case! The site copy says that it’s supposed to be hydrating. I don’t know about that, but it isn’t drying or irritating in any way. There...
I was initially interested in these shades because I had hopes that Volta would be a match for Aromaleigh v1’s Pure Drama Violet (which I missed the chance to get.) Volta is a deeper, slightly more muted purple…but like the entire Pure Drama collection, these colors are all...
Lexi was one of my first Zoya polishes - I think I bought it in my second or third order - but I haven’t been overly interested in many of the other shades. They’re mostly sheer or semisheer, which isn’t always my favorite. I prefer colors that...
When this collection first came out, I was fairly sure I wouldn't like Ingrid. I didn't get it, didn't even think about it, wasn't interested. I'd just like to say for the record...I was wrong. Ingrid isn't a microglitter, in the way that many people think about microglitters. It...
